Ready to face a challenge? Good! As the updated version of Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive is now on GOG.
As a reminder, the updated release from THQ Nordic doesn't just add Linux support. It also adds language support for French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and English to the main game. It also adds in the lost demo level, with more limited language support.
As usual, the Linux release on GOG has gone through their internal testing (as they always do) and comes packaged with their handy MojoSetup-based installer.
- Based on the successful tactical combat mechanics from the Commandos series with an even more challenging difficulty level
- A great atmosphere straight out of classic Westerns with beautiful hand-drawn levels
- A wide variety of scenarios and an impressive number of ways to accomplish each assignment
GOG actually sent us a copy of it and I can confirm it does work really damn nicely. As someone who never got to play it originally, I am especially appreciative of the work THQ Nordic do to update old titles.
Find it on GOG here where it's also on sale for super cheap!

It's also on Steam for the very same low price.
Installing Linux version right now (Steam).
EDIT: Starts and seems to run fine.

It has been recently updated, July 2018, for better stability and performance on modern operating systems (e.g. Windows 10) compared to the old version.
The Linux version is also taking advantage of the updates and is available on GOG and Steam.
Both Steam and GOG are currently offering it at a very nice 80% discount. Kerr-ching!
Prior to this latest update, I've read a number of people's reviews (Windows users) stating that it worked badly on their system.
Question to self:
Do I buy it on Steam or GOG? Hehe.
EDIT: Got it on GOG.
